Had high hopes, unfortunately it's just not that good. It had a lot of potential that it just got lost in. I'll still be checking out his more recent work: I've heard nothing but praise for his last two books!

I've been collecting and planning out my reads for Spooky October for awhile now, but I couldn't wait to get started.
The Last Final Girl is my first by noteworthy horror author Stephen Graham Jones.
It's written in an unconventional format - no chapters, just Act 1, 2 and 3; POV cuts throughout - and reads just like a campy horror movie!
I watched slasher movies back when I was probably too young to be doing so, and many of the scenes and pop culture references in here are straight out of the genre.
This isn't a read for everyone, obviously, but if you're a horror movie or book fan then you'll appreciate.
Looking so forward to the author's newest, My Heart Is A Chainsaw, out on Aug. 31!

This had pretty much every single corny slasher/horror movie trope, and I loved it! Written like a movie script, with characters I couldn't help but want dead, this was just a fun ride. It's definitely horrific and gory at times, but the satirical elements kept it from ever being too creepy for me.
This won't be for everyone, but those that love horror and don't mind a bit of cheesiness to it will get a kick out of The Last Final Girl!
